SPECIFICATION API 17D/ISO 13628-4

SUBSEA WELLHEADS AND TREES

STATUS REPORT

1. INTRODUCTION

The API 17D task group’s scope was to develop a second edition of the specification, combining ISO 13628-4 and API 17D into a second edition of 13628-4. Once that ISO document is fully balloted & accepted, it is planned that it will be adopted by API as the second edition of 17-D. Items considered in the new edition of the specification include:

Revised information on gaskets and flanges

Addressed GLL and HXTs

Revised mudline equipment definitions

Updated pressure testing and acceptance criteria

Added annexes on flange bolting, material compatibility testing, lifting devices, and connector qualification testing (omitted from first DIS)

Pressure ranges (limit to 15k equipment)

Updated PSL, material class and temperature class

Clarified wellhead annular monitoring requirements

2. STATUS

The task group has reviewed and responded to all 113 pages of comments. In addition, text has been added to address the design and classification of submudline casing hangers which are sometimes used in subsea drilling/wellhead drilling programs. The task group’s response to the comments have been incorporated into the document. The finished product was forwarded to the ISO Secretariat w/c 27 October 2008 along with the task group’s recommendation that a second DIS be issued. That action is suggested due to the considerable volume of comments. The task group has also been directed to consider the treatment of differential pressure in the design process for the equipment that is in the scope of the specification. This is to serve as a template for treatment for the entire SC17/13628 family of specifications. The work has been completed and the report received 22 Dec 2008. It is being reviewed by Ross Frazer and Brian Skeels. The task group is also following the ECS task group on the changes to the ASME Section VIII, Division 2 pressure vessel code and what effects it may have on the current document.

3. WORK IN PROGRESS

o The six tasks within the new revision 3 work item include:

1. Move the IWOCS clause (section) in the document to an Annex and expand scope to be

the master document reference for subsequent well intervention documents with IWOCS

variations. – Lead: Tony Muff (ISO)

2. Add equipment test frequency and well control strategy clause (section) (or Annex),

similar to NORSOK D-010 and D-002 as it applies to completion and workover riser

equipment. – Lead: Mike Hess

3. Clarify text and requirements to highlight tubing hanger running string and horizontal tree

landing string as similar intervention devices. – Lead: Tom Ames

4. Create a standard set of nomenclature of equipment that can be used across completion

workover riser configurations, and later used by subsequent welling intervention documents.

– Lead: Bill Parks

5. Subsea Test Tree Manufacture Review: (14A or not…) – Lead: Virgilio Soule

6. Clarify entire text (i.e. clarify "shoulds" and "shalls") of 13628-7 to bring the document up

from "recommended practice" status to "specification" status. – Colin Johnston to look at and

set up project plan

o A second draft of the equipment test frequency and well control strategy was distributed and

discussed at the November meeting.

o Tom Ames and Bill Parks completed their review of landing string and nomenclature

discrepancies in 13628-7 and commented that the nomenclature and landing string clarification

work have turned out to be similar in nature and asked to combine work items 3 and 4, and allow

Bill and Tom to work jointly on this effort.

o Virgilio Soule completed his review of current 6A/14A manufacturing practices and

recommended that a new annex be written for subsea test trees (SSTT) manufacturing

specifications

o The ISO 13628-7 work group has target establishing a table of content (scope) of the IWOCS

annex by June 2009, prepare text by December 2009, and circulate for industry review and

comment by February 2010.

o Gavin Duncan presented a case to study IWOCS umbilical standards and address the issue as to

whether it goes into 13628-7’s IWOCS annex, or should be donated to the 13628-5/17E task

group for inclusion into their document. Gavin will get with John McManus and Jan Fredrik

Carlsen to determine where the best fit is.

o The API 17G task group would like to merge the new work items prepared so far into the current

13628-7 document to create a “working draft” by March 2009. Text will continue to be revised

and edited, including work toward getting the entire document up to specification status

throughout the summer, coinciding with the IWOCS effort.

The API 17H and API 17M were adopted in 2004 from ISO 13628-8 and ISO 13628-

9 respectively. A new work item has been identified to combine the two standards

into one new standard titled ISO 13628-13. Comments to the previous release of the

standards will need to be incorporated into the next revision.

The API 17H task group, working with an equivalent ISO team, has the scope of

work to update and combine the existing API-17H / ISO 13628-8 and API-17M / ISO

13628-9 into a single concise specification.

2. PREVIOUS REPORTED STATUS

Statoil has setup a FTP web site to allow universal access to all team members. The

“strawman” document and other supporting documents have been posted to the site.

An ISO work group and an API task group have been assembled, member names and

contacts are listed in section 3.

Several meetings between Erich Luzi and Charles White have been held and a table

of contents have been developed. Using the table of contents a “strawman” document

has been created for use by both teams. Responsibility for chapters of the

“strawman” have been distributed to each team for comment.

The ISO work group has held a few meetings in Europe and the API task group has

held seven meetings in Houston, but with poor attendance.

The ISO team has had good participation at meeting but progress has been reduced

due to the fact that 3 of the members companies have recently merged. The API

meetings have been poorly attended due to competing demands

Updated dual-port hotstab drawings have been obtained and will be incorporated in

the new standard. An additional question has been received regarding a correction to

the units one of the tables. This has been incorporated in the new standard.

Several meetings have been scheduled but attendance has been very poor.

Additional meetings will be scheduled quarterly.

3. MEMBERSHIP

Membership to the task group has grown with several new members participating.

5. MAJOR ISSUES

The ISO team has had good participation at meeting but progress has been reduced

due to the fact that 3 of the members companies have recently merged. The API

meetings have been poorly attended due to competing demands.

Concerned that the table of contents is still evolving, we need to agree upon the scope

and complete sections. Currently we are waiting on the cleaned up version of the

working draft from the ISO task group. Upon receipt we will schedule a meeting to

review the table of contents.

Dates can not be estimated until a scope and table of contents are agreed.


None at this time.


ISO Work Group and API Task Group are scheduled to meet quarterly.

8. RESOURCE NEEDS

Operators are asked to submit any “standard” subsea manifold specifications that may

be useful to this team. None have been received to date.

1. INTRODUCTION

The API 17P task group has the scope of work to develop a standard that would be

applicable to all types of templates and the manifolds supported by them. This would

include well spacer templates, riser support templates, manifold templates and

multiwell/manifold temples; i.e. drilling and production templates, as well as pipeline

end terminations and pipeline end manifolds. Some of the main topics to be covered

by the standard are:

Design and performance requirements for all components

Definition of interface requirements

Fabrication guidance

Installation guidance

Operations and maintenance guidance

Abandonment considerations


INTEC Engineering has setup a FTP web site to post the skeleton of the draft to allow

access by more than the local members of the task group

(ftp:\\API:[email protected]). The draft document and other supporting

documents have been posted to the site. It was decided that the task group would

revert to communication by e-mail.

A Purchase Order was executed January 15, 2007 to Doris Inc to provide clerical

support for the development of the rough draft. A cleanup of the rough draft has been

completed and distributed to the task group. Roughly 90% of the budget has been

expended to date and a final invoice has been submitted.

A three workshops were scheduled and well attended in the past two quarters. The

goal was to uplift the working draft to committee draft by:

Incorporate figures

Fill out thin sections

Update material section to match latest annex L

Review gaps/overlaps with 17D, 17H and subsea connectors


STATUS REPORT

-2- 13-Jan-09

The list of previous actions has been completed and all input by the task group has

1. INTRODUCTION

The API 17Q Task Group (TG) kicked-off February 8, 2008 to develop a recommend

practice that outlines a consistent methodology and documentation process for the

qualification of subsea equipment.

2. STATUS

Due to the large task of developing qualification guidelines for subsea equipment,

eight (8) separate component task groups have been developed: valves and actuators,

trees and chokes, connectors, hydraulic - subsea controls, electrical - subsea controls,

coatings and insulation, completion equipment and wellhead equipment.

Since April 2008, eighteen (18) sub committee component grouping meetings have

been held to gain alignment on respective test requirements. In addition to sub

committee meetings, two (2) 17Q leadership committee meetings have been held:

March 10, 2008 (at BP) and May 15, 2008 (at Oil States).

To date, the following tasks have been completed via the 17Q Task Group:

Committee and participant alignments have been reached regarding overall

17Q methodology (failure mode analysis and product qualification sheets -

datasheets).

Specific components and respective groupings.

FMA/PQS template forms.

Individual component PQS forms complete, containing input from various

Task Group / Industry subject matter experts.

Alignment obtained regarding the RP's document outline.
